The Last Male Northern White Rhino In The World Has Joined Tinder

While this may sound like the desperate plea of a horny man during the apocalypse, it’s actually the dating profile of Tinder’s newest hopeful romantic.

Meet Sudan, the world’s last male white northern rhino and, according to his keepers at the Ol Pejeta conservancy, the ‘world’s most eligible bachelor’.

You can watch a report on his plight below:

Sudan’s Tinder profile on the popular dating app reads:

I’m one of a kind. No seriously. I’m the last male white rhino on planet earth. I don’t mean to be too forward, but the fate of my species literally depends on me.

I perform well under pressure. I like to eat grass and chill in the mud. No problems. 6 ft tall and 5,000 pounds if it matters.

But Sudan, the 43-year-old rhino (which is about 100 in human years) who has been dubbed a ‘modern day unicorn’, is not looking for the warm embrace of a woman.

He just needs your help.

Benjamin Soto

Ol Pejeta Conservancy has teamed up with Tinder and Ogilvy & Mather in a campaign aimed at raising awareness about Sudan’s plight and raising the nine million dollars to explore technologies needed to protect the northern white rhino from extinction.

All attempts to get Sudan to mate naturally have failed, unsurprisingly.

After all, the guy is reaching his twilight years and the weight of an entire species is a lot of pressure under which to perform – let alone his two prospective mates, 17-year-old Satu and 27-year-old Najin.

A swipe right on Sudan’s Tinder profile directs users to the Ol Pejeta donation page.

Sudan is proving popular with Tinder users in 140 countries and across 90 languages. After his profile was live for just a day, the Ol Pejeta website crashed.

Rhino’s got game.
